Hi im looking for a nice close up pad that last forever and that is not too expensive? anyone selling? i dont mind second hand if they are really good. the bigger the size the better i guess? pls help and quote ya best price. thanx

last forever ...does close up mats last forever? ;)

yo magicb

you can find good close-up mats at magic supreme.

$15 a piece, good quality, but only 1 layer and no rubber on the underside. these are the big ones.

or

$18 a piece, very good quality, available in different colours, and rubber on the underside. however, these pads are small. for table-hoppers.

both are great investments by the way.

i heard got one S$40 one sold in Magic Castle.. heard that one the best one...

anyone has it? wat ya think?

about the cheaper ones... wat so "ungood" abt it?

im thinking of getting one.. but dunno which one..

anyone have the S$40 one and wanna sell to me second hand?

can get any for less than S$10?

Actually, if you were to go to spolight, you can find a doormat which can also be used as a close up mat.

The cheaper close up mat will peel over time. The colors will fade. Get a better one if you can.

Some mouse pads can be used as close up mats too.

any good recommendations magicdow?wat do u use? perhaps i can have a look at ya doormats or mouse pads? lol :P

This is the best I've seen. I seldom use close up mat.

i also used to use mouse pads...lasted for a while but began to peel off over time ;)

but isnt mouse pads too small?


B)

I got the close-up mat from Magic Supreme a while back for $12 instead of $15, I guess they jacked up the price recently.

Been looking at those little black bookbags in bookstores and all... the kind that you can put in sheets of paper and all. If you've seen it before, you'll know what I mean ;)

one of my magician friend performed with a mouse pad, i thought it was a table-hopping closeup pad, and was presently surprised to hear it that it was a mouse pad

its definitely a bit small the its quite gd B)

honestly. try those cloth shop.. they do sell floor mats.. of those grip things they put in cars.. saw them selling $1.90 for a long roll. They all can work.. and dont have to be afraid of it getting dirty.

why not you try , and then tell us if it is good or not?


B)

yes
solomon's selling close up mats which are said to be indestructable
well
at least thats what he told me
40 dollars

do they realli work?
i thought they where made of rubber
well some
mouse pads are the cheapest and the best

well, when i go spore on the 7th... maybe u guys can take me go shopping :P... i just think getting a close up pad will be good, coz now i use my bed... which is actually quite nice and comfy to practice on.. lol.

the 1.90 thingy sound good... lol... perhaps u can take me there ?

or kev, hows ur close up mat? any good? the $12 one.

I believe the material that u all are talking about in it's various disgusies is "Neoprene"... and no, they aren't those things which come out of the machine when u stick some coins in and pull a few monkey faces.

so... is the Neoprene any good? me dunno wat is it... :P

;) wads a Neoprene ?

haha when i 1st saw it ... i thought neo print lol...
yeah magicB whats that>?

Word of advice: Don't smoke while practicing on a close-up mat...the reason's obvious :(

Hell, don't even START smoking to begin with.

I believe most of you has seen it before. If you've seen thick and heavy mouse pads, they are made of neoprene.
